March 21, 2003 OPP-2003-0057 

Pesticide petition for residues in or on the raw agricultural commodities sugarcane at 0.01 ppm, cottonseed at 0.05 ppm, cotton by-products at 1.0 ppm, citrus at 0.01, almond hulls at 0.01 ppm, almond nut meat at 0.01 ppm, and tomatoes at 0.01 ppm.
-- In the rat teratology study, 300 and 1,000 mg/kg/day caused maternal toxicity consisting of reduced body weight and food consumption. Developmental toxicity was secondary to maternal toxicity and consisted of slightly reduced fetal body weights and an increase in minor skeletal anomalies and variations.
The NOAELs for maternal and developmental toxicity were both 30 mg/kg/day.
-- Subchronic toxicity... In a 3-month rat feeding study the NOAEL was 65.7 mg/kg with
hematologic and liver effects noted. In a 3-month mouse feeding study, the NOAEL was 67.9 mg/kg. Effects seen were adaptive liver effects. In a 3-month feeding study in dogs the NOAEL was 19.6 mg/kg and hematopoietic and liver effects were seen.
-- Chronic toxicity... body weight gain was decreased by 16% in males at 122 mg/kg/ day... There was a tendency for a decrease in the erythrocyte count, hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit for both sexes at 122 mg/kg/day at the end of treatment, and for males throughout the treatment period.
-- In a 2-year chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity [rat] study
... At terminal sacrifice, the testes to body weight ratio was increased by 19% in the 464 mg/kg/day group. Microscopical examination revealed a non-dose responsive increase in the incidence of kidney tubular atrophy in the two top dose groups of female rats, and an increase in Leydig cell hyperplasia in high dose males only... The NOAEL in males was 82.6 mg/kg/day based on the increased incidence of Leydig cell hyperplasia, and 23.7 mg/kg/day in females based on the increased incidence of kidney tubular atrophy.
-- In a 90-day subchronic neurotoxicity study in rats... based on body weight effects, the NOAEL was established at 112 mg/kg/day for male rats and 553 mg/kg/day for female rats.
